desktop charger

Plugged-in power source

A desktop charger is a charging device designed to sit on a desk or table, typically used to power phones, tablets, or other portable electronics.

Unlike wall chargers that plug directly into outlets, desktop chargers connect via cable and often feature stands or docks that hold devices upright for easy viewing while charging: I keep a desktop charger at work so my phone stays topped up.
